2Cellos, which has also offered its take on Nirvana, Coldplay, U2 and Sting — but sadly, not Napalm Death (at least, not that I know of) — is coming to the Majestic Theatre. Don’t hold your breath; the show isn’t getting here until April 14 (right before Fiesta), but tickets do go on sale Friday at noon.

This started like all music sensations — with a YouTube video. Cellists Luka Sulic and Stjepan (My Name Looks Like a Typo) Hauser, described as “cello rivals” by a Majestic press release, put their rivalry aside long enough to perform “Smooth Criminal” together and upload the video to YouTube in January 2011. After it got 5 million hits, a record deal and a tour with Elton John followed.

Then the duo performed the tune on “Glee” during its Michael Jackson show. Appearances on “The Tonight Show” and “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” followed.

Both these dudes practically came out of the womb playing their not-so-mellow-cellos. Both have won awards and prizes at festivals you’ve never heard of.

A check of 2Cellos.com shows that the Majestic press release announcing the show is selling them short. It fails to mention that Luka and Stjepan just did a gig with the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Zagreb, Croatia. Not only that, Peppers’ drummer Chad Smith joined them on stage as the covered AC/DC’s “Back in Black.”

Cool.

Then they played “Californication” with the whole band.

Very cool.

They also play “Highway to Hell,” with one guy cranking put the power chords while the other does an instrumental Bon Scott. They’ve also played Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt” and Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle.” But what’s really weird is their adaptation of Dick Dale’s classic surf-rock instrumental “Misirlou.” It comes with a video of the guys falling overboard — cellos in hand — while on a holiday boating excursion.
